Strike

[mackenzie]

Just playing Devil's Advocate here...........

The contract of employment you signed in 1981 was fit for purpose in 1981.

Contracts should be subject to change, albeit following appropriate negotiation etc.

That's the sodding point though.

The contract that I, and my employer, signed then should stand.

I disagree.

But I do agree that change should be subject to meaningful consultation and negotiation.

So you reckon a contract should be broken on a whim?

In my time in the Army I have served quite a bit with civil servants, and on the whole they are a professional and loyal bunch, who get hung out to dry on a regular basis by ministers. They're on a hiding to nothing as they never, ever get honest press coverage.

Good luck to all of them who strike.

No. That's why it should be subject to meaningful consultation and negotiation.

They are taking everything away.
Our pay, our pensions and even our terms and and conditions.

I know we aren't liked. It's par for the course really because many see us as having it easy. And we did for years. However that has changed immensely.

But the point is that the Public Sector Unions are really the only voice left.

I am not an activist anymore these days but I am so glad we can still fight for the things we see are worth fighting for.

Lots going on at our place recently. No pay rise, luckily no cuts but a freeze is as good as, people who were in the non contributory pension now have to contribute 2% so their pay has gone down, free parking removed so that's £60 a month extra to find, and then little bits regarding holidays, milk and juice. Two handed their notice in this week.

Milk and juice????

What are your demands this time you feckless underclasses, free massages at lunch, even more money ?

 

[Citizen52]

I'm not.

No. A contract is a contract.
The Terms and Conditions should be adhered to by each side. If there has to be negotiation to change that then fair enough.
